A system and method for automatically adjusting the tension of a track on a snow machine, or other track-driven vehicle, is disclosed. The system includes an axle mounted in slotted adjustment holes with an axle bolt or other means to fix the axle to the track guide of the track-driven machine. The system also includes one or more biasing members to exert a force on the axle. When an axle bolt is loosened, the axle moves forward or backward in the adjustment slots to achieve the proper tension on the track. The axle bolt can then be tightened to fix the location of the axle in the adjustment slots at the location that provides proper tension for the track. The system obviates the need to use complicated tools and procedures to properly tension the track.
